Rand Paul, the Republican U.S. senator from Kentucky mulling a run for president, hit the Hub today stopping first for an appearance on Boston Herald Radio where he spoke about individual rights.

The senator has called for a GOP that is "more inclusive." He has spoken out vigorously against government surveillance and has pushed to build a coalition of Tea Party movement members as well as younger voters, Latinos and blacks.

He said he'll talk today at Harvard and with doctors later about "your right to privacy, your right to be left alone from the government" and how that has "gone astray" under the Obama Administration.
